THE READ
When each one makes sense.
01 · MYBLOODTEST
Pick MyBloodTest if…
You live on your phone and want native iOS or Android, not just a website.
You track results for up to five family members in a single account.
You sometimes get lab reports in non-English languages and want them parsed automatically.
You want a free tier with AI scanning included, not a per-report data-entry fee.
You want Apple Health, Fitbit, and Withings sync plus a QR + PIN share link for your doctor.
02 · HEALTHMATTERS.IO
Pick HealthMatters if…
You want the largest marketed biomarker library for unusual or specialty panels.
You work primarily on a desktop and prefer a web-first interface.
You would rather pay $250 once for a lifetime tier than subscribe.
You are a clinician or practitioner who needs the Pro client-management workflow.
You are happy entering results manually or paying $15 per data-entry report.
DEEP DIVE
The longer story.
HealthMatters.io has been running since 2015, founded by Ben Dame in Seattle. Eleven years of continuous operation matters when you are trusting a service with a decade of personal lab history. The platform markets a 10,000+ biomarker library, which signals that obscure tests — specialty endocrine panels, niche functional-medicine markers, less common minerals — are likely already covered. That breadth is a real edge for power users who order unusual panels. The Pro and Pro Plus tiers add a client-management workflow for clinicians and practitioners, an area HealthMatters has invested in more than most consumer trackers.
HealthMatters is a deliberately web-first, single-user system. There is no iOS or Android app, the interface is English-only, and importing a new report runs through a $15 per data-entry report rather than free AI scanning. That setup works for its core audience: desktop-first US users who want a long-running database for their own labs. It is a less natural fit for people who mostly use their phone, get reports in other languages, or want one place that holds an entire family's results.
HealthMatters is a desktop database with a decade of biomarker depth. MyBloodTest is the everyday loop, on your phone, free.
Where MyBloodTest fits in.
MyBloodTest assumes you already have a way to get bloodwork — a primary-care doctor, an annual physical, an at-home kit. Our job is to make sense of those results across time, sources, family members, and languages. The product is free, with native iOS and Android apps and a web version, plus AI scanning that parses any lab report in any language at no extra cost. Five family profiles are included in the free tier. Age- and sex-aware reference ranges are cited from 10+ named sources (Mayo, ARUP, Quest, Labcorp, CALIPER, NORIP, RCPA, WHO, JSCC), and wearable sync covers Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit, and Withings. Sharing with a doctor uses a QR link with AI-highlighted out-of-range results and a PIN — no PDF email required.
How to switch — or run both side by side.
HealthMatters offers a CSV export from your account settings. To bring history into MyBloodTest, you can re-scan the original lab PDFs with our AI scanner for a clean re-parse with full unit and reference-range mapping. You can also request a native HealthMatters importer on our /switching page, which tracks importer status for HealthMatters, Function Health, InsideTracker, MyChart, Apple Health, Labcorp, MyQuest, and others. The two products run side by side: keep HealthMatters for the lifetime library, and use MyBloodTest for the day-to-day mobile workflow.
FAQ
People also ask.
Is HealthMatters.io worth it?
HealthMatters is a strong fit for desktop-first US users who want a long-running web tracker with broad biomarker coverage. The $250 lifetime tier is real value if you plan to track labs for the next decade. If you mostly use your phone, get reports in non-English languages, or want to track labs for a whole family, MyBloodTest is free and built for those workflows.
